Until the Day I Die

Back in the hills when we were only kids

Love shined like a diamond in your eyes

I swore i'd never hurt you - then i did

Now i'm all alone with all my lies

I promised that i'd never be untrue

I'd never make you cry

The only promise that i didn't break

Was to love you until the day i die

I wish i'd never seen those city lights

A sight for a country boy to see

For every one that you see shinin' bright

Another is burnin' out like me

I wouldn't listen though you told me dear

I couldn't see the lie

But all the same i still love you tonight

And i'll love you until the day i die

They built this prison just for fools like me

Who don't know a treasure from a stone

I killed a man now i won't ever see

The green rollin' hills where i was born

No i won't ever see your face again

But if i close my eyes

I can almost hear you call me back to then

And i'll love you until the day i die
